[mkgmap-dev] problems with rendering of long riverbank (multipolygons)

Thanks for your investigations.

I have an idea.

The automatic closing of polygons only closes single ways but does not 
check if the way could be closed by connecting it to another way. This 
is a bit tricky and I fear that there might be some side effects. But 
possibly it works.

I will try to implement a patch.
